Tzar Sectus Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Originally posted by Edward Peretti Vertex lighting does spoil her a little. Which is why I added more polys to the face. But She looks really nice as jan's role in single player. I'll see about posting some screens when I get home. When you take those screens, I recommend trying to set r_overBrightBits to 0 (you'll have to do a vid_restart for it to take effect), this deactivates the overkill brightness effect on the textures ingame (which looks rather nice on walls and such, but it blurs the model skins too much). I personally think disabling this makes models look a thousand times better ingame. -Remi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Peretti Posted December 18, 2002 Author Share Posted December 18, 2002 I got LOD1 to work, finaly devising a method for the other 2. Now all I gotta do is test it in-game. Either way this all works for me now. No time for screenies at the moment, but thanks for the tip Tzar Sectus, I'll try that out some time. later.

EmperorJello Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 A Question, if I may. Will the CTF versions have modified torso and leg skins like someone earlier requested, or will they be re-colors? If possible, I would advocate making modified skins for the Imperial Red and Rebel Blue CTF versions. If this is not possible, or convenient--then a re-color or whatnot would easily suffice. Thanks.

Edward Peretti Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 Hi all, The one last problem I have is the filesize. It's about 6 to 7 meg!! Most files are about 1 to 2 meg. This is mainly due to the 4 "1024x1024" tga files included in the pack. If no uploading site will support it, I'll have to cut down the resolution by half, bearing in mind each texture represents the whole model, so you wouldn't be getting the most out of the texture at higher resolutions. I'll finish testing and then see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll finish testing and then see what happens. I can host it on my site, the filesize is no problem. We just have to find a way to get it from your computer to mine. So if you want me to host it just send me an e-mail and I'll tell you my icq number or give you an ftp accout, so you can upload it. As soon as I get it I can upload it.

garak88 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 I don't think it would be much of a problem, JediKnightII.net has hosted some pretty large model files in the past. The Kit Fisto model, for instance, was over 10 megs and they hosted it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaAdmiral Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Not sure if this was covered earlier in the thread, but are there any plans to release flesh or wireframe base plates for skinners to make skins off of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Peretti Posted December 22, 2002 Author Share Posted December 22, 2002 yep, I've put in template skin files. Good point garak88 , I'll try JKii.net. Though I'll probably have to send it via my work email on monday. If they announce it, she should be released tomorrow! Garik Loran: cheers. If all else fails with JKII.net I'll take up that offer of yours So tonight I'll just test and prepare her for the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader III Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 I don't know this stuff very well (uploading and sites and so on) but I have seen "submit file" possibilities at http://www.jediknightii.net and http://www.jediknight2files.com. Just pointing these out 'cos I've downloaded files over 20 mb from there... Sorry if I didn't get the point...
